Lead developer for Compiz, Sam Spilsbury, says he sees little need to develop Compiz for Wayland due to the increasing fragmentation of the Linux ecosystem. Spilsbury writes "What does compiz actually provide to users of these systems? [...] None of this functionality that user wants really depends on our compositing engine. There's nothing so special about our compositing engine that gives it a reason to exist [...] This is the real practical toll of fragmentation amongst the Linux ecosystem. It's not just that there are multiple implementations of the wheel. There are multiple implementations of entire cars which do almost the same thing, but a little different from everyone else. Some say this is the free software's greatest strength. Now that I know the personal and technical toll of fragmentation, I see it as its greatest weakness."

OSX is moderately successful compared to IOS, Linux desktop is an utter failure (market share wise) when put against Android.

Indeed, but my point was about computing paradigms.

I explained myself very badly, but what I was trying to say was that suggesting Android over GNU/Linux development (as he did) doesn't really make much sense because they target entirely different types of devices. However suggesting OS X or Windows development does make a logical (in the sense of comparing like for like) argument because they are all desktop OSs.
